Trees delay Shuttle's final journey

The final journey of the retired space shuttle Endeavour through Los Angeles has been delayed by trees along the route.

Endeavour began its 12-mile journey from LAX international airport on Friday and was due to arrive at the California Science Center yesterday.

The 75 tonne shuttle, which once reached speeds of almost 30,000 kilometres per hour, has been trundling down the city's famously low-level boulevards at under 2km/hr.

It is now hoped the spacecraft will reach its final destination later this evening.
